Thank you 7Sage!!

Since we can only view one question at a time for all sections, it now seems much less convenient to implement the comparative passage method in which you answer all the questions pertaining to Passage A first then proceed to reading Passage B.

For those of you used to doing this method on paper exams, what is your transition strategy?

So I took the LSAT for the first time this June, and after getting my score back I'm sitting on my hands wondering how I should proceed. I got a 170, which I know is a good score, but I feel kind of frustrated upon seeing the disclosures on my mistakes. I didn't enroll in the July test, so I would have to sit for it in September (prepping for another 3 months is...not ideal). I'm not sure whether it's worth trying again or if I should sit tight with this score.

I generally wake up early in the morning, and I am the type of person that is productive in the morning and as soon as i do something "unproductive" I don't easily get started again. My question is what do people do (outside of running and meditating) in between waking up and taking a prep test at 12 pm to stay focused? Would it be a good idea to read a somewhat easy to read book, or will that somewhat tire the brain out?

Can someone please help me see how C is correct.

My thought process was this:

P1: high atmospheric winds off the western coast of Africa -> formation of hurricanes threaten US mainland

P2: abundant rain falls in SS Africa -> hurricanes hit with particular frequency

Abundant rain -> promote the ability of the winds to form hurricanes

I did not really see the flaw, but I thought there was some kind of jump. So maybe a unstated assumption.

In another blog I read said it was a correlation/causation, but I do not see that.

on pins and needles about tomorrow?! I have to actively try to think about anything and everything else.

I just got my June LSAT score back and I'm pretty disappointed. I studied for 6 months and did not get the score I was getting on my PTs at home. I think I run out of time on the day of the exam due to nerves and was wondering if anyone had some advice or could point me in the direction of a private tutor to work on timing in addition to continuing with 7sage. I could really use your help.

Hi All-

When negating answer choice C -> is this interpretation correct? “One eminent scientist trained by J.J. Thomson was not a creative researcher before coming to study with him. OR -> More than one eminent scientist trained by J.J. Thomson was not a creative researcher before coming to study with him.” The “at-least” in answer choice C is throwing me off. Thank you in advance!

For weakening and strengthening AC, must the correct AC always provide independent doubt/verification upon the likelihood that the conclusion holds?

I am currently scheduled to sit for the July 2019 test. Given the unique circumstance of being able to cancel score with a free retake I have planned to take it; although, I am not scoring where I would like. However, I am wondering if scoring low will be a confidence setback and if I should cancel and schedule for the September test. Conversely, should I continue with the plan of sitting for the July test, possibly get the digital format which would give me a practice run at digital format?

Currently, I am taking a summer class concurrently with LSAT studying and will start fall classes the end of August. I mention that because it would give me additional time where I am primarily able to focus on LSAT studying. I would appreciate any general advice. Additionally for those of you who sat for the test more than once, how did you maintain your confidence approaching your second take? Was it a matter of the increased understanding you gained in the time from the first to second test?

Adding to the stress is that LSAC has yet to approve my accommodations request; therefore, I have not done a 35 minute timed section or overall PT with the time constraints.

I purchased the set of 10 official preptests that includes 56 and 57. I noticed that for each of those tests, the final game and questions were squeezed onto one page. Is this actually how the test was administered? Or was additional work space provided somewhere?

So I was stuck between A and B. Had I not seen this was a 3/5 difficulty I would have chosen A without hesitation. I still choose A, but contemplated B quite a bit.

Can someone please explain how A is wrong and B is correct?

Thank you.

I am having difficult time differentiating the following two types of question:

(1) Which one of the following could be a complete listing of the planes located in the four areas at noon, with each plane listed in every area in which it is located?

(2) Which one of the following is a compelte and accurate list of those planes any one o fwhich could be within area T at noon?

(1) asks to find a hypothetical world, where as (2) asks to find all the variables that can be at the area T at noon.

After reading several times, I finally get what each statement is asking for, but is there any easier way of detecting such types?

Thank you in advance!

So, I've done the Trainer and the LG Bible. I use the Trainer's notation system, but I use the Bible's strat in terms of inferences. I can map 95% of games and rules with ease. I understand just about everything JY does on the games explanations. And I implement some of his material when fool-proofing. I still miss about 1 question per game and am around 10 or 11 mins per game for the medium-hard and up games.

My question is: Would the LG curriculum be worth the time for me? Or should I just drill? I'm trying to maximize my study time obvi.

Thanks in advance!

If you're taking the July 2019 LSAT and your account is inconveniently set to expire a few days before the test date, you can get a free 14-day extension from this page: https://classic.7sage.com/free-extension/

For those of you who are expiring after, good luck on the LSAT! We here at 7Sage are rooting for you.

Hey 7sagers,

Need some advice...

Currently in my studying stage, I am in the midst of doing timed sections. When I am doing a timed section, I attempt about 19 to 21 questions and miss the rest because of time constraints. I get approximately 15-17 questions correct. However, in my BR I usually get about 21 to 23 correct.

I have read and heard from folks that when you are doing a timed LR section that you should try to train yourself and aim to do about 8-12 questions in about 10 mins. However, when I am doing my sections, at the 10 minute mark I am usually not on that mark and gets me nervous and messes me up for the rest of the section. I feel like between the first 10 questions, there is always one or two questions that are time sinks for me, but I try to stick to doing them because I know they are easier then other questions in the section (something I know I have to stop doing being because it takes up so much time).

Just wanted to know how did those who were able to get the entire section done and have time to review in the 35 mins time slot train themselves to do that? What were some skipping strategies that you developed and incorporated? Did you have certain process when you were doing a LR section? How did you train yourself in 10 mins about doing 8-12 questions? How did you get the balance between speed and accuracy?

I want to try and set up some small bench goals for me: for example from 21 questions in 35 mins to move to 23 questions and then to about 25 etc. Did you have any small stepping stones that you put into place? I am still at least a few weeks from going into full test prep phase but wanted to iron out my process before I get there.

Any help would be awesome.

Thanks!

So I just finished the games CC (i did all the problem sets) I read the discussions on 7sage but didn’t see a clear cut answer. Now that I will start the bundle (1-35) should I do them by game types or just go through the Pt games?

P.S Im not even close at being good at LG

This is a technical repost but I really do need some guidance here.

Hi all,

I have been lightly studying for 2 weeks and am going to buckle down as soon as I commit to a 7sage package.

My cold PT was a 149 and I’m really looking to push myself to a 162 - 166.

This brings me to my main question/concern. Can I digest premium/ultimate+ in this time frame. And, is my test date too late as well?

I originally wanted to take October but a nondiscolsed test for me is a no go. Also I’ve read that it’s ok to take a November test as long as you apply right when you get your score.

I want the best bang for my buck here, and that’s why I’ve chosen 7sage. So is ultimate+ worth it for my time frame?

Any chance there will be another LR workshop hosted by J.Y. or someone else?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has been able to foolproof RC passages in their prep journey? I was wondering if you could share some tips on how to do it and whether it has helped you improve your accuracy & time

Sorry if there is another post on here that talks about this.

I just finished the CC, I'm sitting for July (less than 4 weeks away) and am wondering what PT to start with since I have limited time to PT.

I have done a decent job foolproofing, spent a ton of time on LR, and ended with RC so that is fresh on my mind and was doing surprisingly well.

I have a one week vacation from work I plan to take which I'll get about 60 (5 PTs) hours of total study time that week for PT'ing, but weeks with work I'm limited to max out at 25 hours (2 PTs) per week. Giving me a grand total of about 110 hours (not including the rest of this week).

PT's take about 12 hours in total, that's just shy of 10 PTs. Do I start with the most recent 10 then?

Ty in advance.

I am sitting for the July LSAT, as most of know, we are allowed to see our score before deciding to cancel it. I was wondering what score would be a definite cancel? I have a LSAC weighted GPA of 3.75 and would really like to have ANY LSAT score on file (even if I plan on retaking in November) so I can send out some applications for ED. I do not mind going to a tier 4-5 law school if worst comes to worst, as my REAL need is scholarships. I am under a contractual obligation to take the July LSAT (free prep material from my undergraduate will have to be payed back if not taken by July) but I just graduated in December 2018 and barely got to LSAT studying in March. I am a non-tradition law school applicant, I graduated HS in 2003 and decided to go back to school 10 years later after being in the business world. I am a first generation college graduate and of course a first generation potential law school student and would appreciate any and all advice, as there are so many conflicting posts/threads online. My PTs ranged from 134 in March to 147 as of last week. Of course I will continue to use my Princeton Review prep materials until test day. I would like to know if I should cancel a score if I plan on retaking in November? Is it okay to have, say a 150 on file and retake it in November in hopes of getting a higher score?

Thank you in advance 7Sagers

has anyone done this ? is this useful?

I just have a question about Rule 3 which is, M-->S Contra: /S-->/M. Doesn't this mean that M and S always go together? If so, then how can number 23 have S and J together without M?

Thanks
